The Instability of Security and Control Zones in Russia's Sociopolitical Strategy

The relevance of the research topic is explained by the growing conflict between Russia and the West. The question of the causes of this conflict has been poorly developed in political sociology. The article substantiates the change in the vector of threat to the population and sovereignty of Russia and the main causes of this conflict in the form of the destruction of Russia's security and control zones (and with the transition from a potential threat to the population to an immediate one) and the elimination of Russia's vital interests. The article highlights two options for restoring Russia's security zone: mutual security (in the form of a European or bilateral system), and full military control of the border area. The scientific and practical significance of the article is manifested in the development of the interpretation of the characteristics of security and control zones.
